Episode 372 Ghost cult leader ‘Sloth’ (2)
Upon hearing that the owner of the Gray Forest had changed, a huge commotion broke out on the 20th floor.
Cray Veratis had such a powerful force. This is because his original strength was not inferior to that of his other large forces.
The person who was most angry was ‘Natae’, the leader of the Church of the Dead.
“It is said that the saint has joined a place called Goinmul Corporation.”
This news is literally like a thunderbolt in a dry sky.
The target that must be secured has fallen into the hands of these idiots.
“Are you talking about the force led by a human named Kang Jin-hyuk?”
“Yes. That’s right. The scouting team is currently trying to find the exact location, but it is blocked by a strange barrier and is not working as intended.”
Detection is not easy even with the power bestowed by the Demon King.
That means the other person has also done something in response.
“And as we move, others start to move as well.”
“You mean the Black Hill Tribe?”
“Yes… this is urgent news that Orc troops have occupied one of our temples this morning.”
At the mention of losing the employee, Na-tae’s eyebrows were bent into an inverted shape.
It had to be that way.
There are a total of seven temples owned by the Church of the Dead on the 20th floor. Afterwards, under Guntafer’s orders, he sought to expand the power of the demon world. All employees must be secured here.
“Which temple?”
“On the outskirts of the north… it is the ‘hideout of mortal sin.’”
Unfortunately, the most difficult place to recapture was taken away.
He must have caught the cult’s movements perfectly and caught them off guard.
“Those dirty orcs are annoying.”
Black skin, yellow eyes.
Among the orcs, those with unusual appearances and powers were the orcs of the Black Hills.
Not only do each individual have outstanding military power, but their intelligence is also very high. Because of this, they were considered one of the biggest forces on the 20th floor.
“What should I do?”
“…….”
Sloth’s eyes looked alternately between the gray forest and the direction of the temple.
The worries didn’t last long.
The saint could be captured at any time as long as she was on the 20th floor, but if the temple was taken for more than 12 hours, the believers would lose their faith.
“Withdraw.”
Sloth bit his lip.
Of course, I didn’t forget to stare into the forest with burning eyes.
“You’re lucky, you brat.”
Next time we meet again, I will skin you alive and hang you in the middle of the temple.
All those belonging to the Goinmul Corporation.
However, it was a time when the entire Church of the Dead was about to withdraw.
Rustling.
The bushes parted and someone appeared.
“Huh… huh… huh?”
A man who looked like he was on the verge of completely collapsing.
It was Faden who served as the head of the Olympus Guild.
“Oh, this can’t be possible… Why are the church bastards on the other side of the forest…”
Faden’s face was stained with despair.
This was because I was not confident that I could properly deal with even an ordinary god in my current state.
On the other hand.
“Kkeuk……Khahahaha!”
Sloth burst into laughter as if he couldn’t stand it anymore.
This person is undoubtedly the leader who led countless humans this time.
… … It’s the engineering team leader!
“Capture him alive!”
***
The second day since entering the gray forest.
Jinhyeok reinforced the forest on a large scale while closely watching the movements of the remaining forces.
The most important thing in this 20th floor was how to take down the top three powers.
‘Let’s take care of the backlog first.’
I was so distracted that I couldn’t even distribute the stats.
To be exact, it was because of a few that stuck to me like a leech.
‘Elise… … Also, he seems to have gone to catch some strange insects.’
He seems to have developed a taste for hunting and is sweeping the area, taking Belus and Ophelia with him.
Both Teresa and Frey seemed busy doing their own thing.
I was finally able to have some alone time.
“Whoa….”
Jinhyuk let out a small sigh and activated his personal status window.
Tiring!

His stat is 6.
The level has already reached 156.
‘Private prices are steadily rising and the growth is overwhelming.’
In the early days of entering the Tower of Trials, the stats I had accumulated, including gaps, were playing their role well.
[Health increased from 67 → 73!]
What I invested in was physical strength.
In order to go beyond the middle part of the tower to the upper level, you need to gradually adjust your balance.
In contrast to the steady investment of magical energy, my physical strength was relatively low.
next… … .
Jinhyuk calmed his pounding heart.
Random skill box[?]
I never imagined I would get this by catching Cray Veratis.
‘The disassembly method was so complicated that I ended up blowing it up several times.’
The rating ‘?’ is not there for nothing.
If you don’t use it properly, it can become trash that isn’t even F grade. On the other hand, it meant that if dismantling was successful until the end, the highest level skill up to SSS level could be obtained.
“Undine.”
Jinhyuk summoned the water spirit beast.
“Uh…Uh, master, master? Did you call me?”
“I have a favor to ask you. But why are you so scared?”
“I’m scared. I’m completely fine. Now, I look confident!”
“Are you stuttering?”
“I… I stuttered?”
“I’m avoiding my eyes.”
“Well, I guess so.”
As Jinhyuk tilted his head, something suddenly passed through his mind.
Come to think of it.
This guy while I was eating strange food. I was giggling and having fun.
I remembered rolling over and over, holding my belly button.
Pachichik!
A stream of pure white ice shot out from Jinhyeok’s fingertips.
“Hey! Did you remember, master?”
“Well, I just remembered.”
Thanks to you, I remembered it very clearly.
“I was wrong. At that time, I really went crazy… I will never, ever, ever do something like this again!”
Undine prayed for her hands to become feet.
But, it was already too late.
“I think from now on you will be a spirit of old water, not a water spirit.”
In the glacier sculpture, ‘Destruction Man’s Poison’ and ‘Blood Demon Energy’ were mixed. When I mixed it with 10-year-old canary fish sauce that I had saved to feed to Ellis, I ended up with a poison that looked quite convincing.
“I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong! I committed a deadly sin.”
“If you commit a mortal sin, you should die.”
step.
“From now until I tell you, make sure no one enters this tent. Then, I may forgive you.”
“Mo, I will protect you with my life. Never. I will not let anyone in, so just trust me. Master!”
Undine boasted and posed as a guard.
***
Jinhyeok, who had prevented any possible variables, looked at the front and back of the iron box.
‘Looking at it, it looks like it’s a type made by dark elves… … .’
… … Is this really it?
A dark elf race character engraved the size of a little fingernail.
It’s definitely true.
It was created by the ‘Intalimun’ tribe, who are known to be the best at making artifacts among the dark elves.
‘This is something I know well.’
Jinhyuk quickly injected magical energy into the cube-shaped box.
OK.
Slam!
The rail went up.
At the same time, the shape of the box also changed.
[The F-class random box has been released.]
[When accepting the reward, an F-class skill is randomly granted.]
‘It’s simple at first.’
A magic circuit made up of powers of 2.
At the beginning of level 0, you only need to decipher one type of circuit, but the difficulty increases rapidly as you go further.
1,2,4,8,16… … .
512,1024,2048… … .
And lastly, 12, which are sacred to the Dark Elves, must be destroyed at the same time, that is, 4096 circuits.
Jinhyuk concentrated his mind and began to move the magic circuit.
Slam!
Slam!
[E-class random box has been released.]
[Class D random box is released… … .]
[Class C… … .]
As the level increases, the rewards you can get also change.
Now, you can see skills that go beyond B-level and are equivalent to A-level.
Again, again… … .
Sweat was dripping down my forehead.
It feels like I’m reaching my limit, beyond the level of fierce battle.
Squeak!
‘… … !’
It was a bit dangerous just now.
Among the 1024 circuits, the horsepower distribution was misaligned in the three circuits at the top.
‘It was close. As expected, I won’t give it to you easily, are you sure?’
But, don’t panic.
Because I achieved what I wanted even under conditions that were more difficult than these.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Around the time the sun in the sky went down.
Slam!
The last rail went up.
“Okay, that’s enough!”
Jinhyuk burst into cheers.
The golden, shining box finally revealed what was hidden inside.
[3 SSS-level skill random cards will be unlocked.]
[Choose the skill you want.]
There are three skill cards with colorful patterns.
You must choose one of these.
“Which one should I choose?”
It is difficult to choose one of the things that seem unusual at a glance.
It would have been nice to be able to check any type of skill, but the premise of ‘random’ did not allow peeking.
Even with ‘Eyes of Gluttony’, each skill card could not be confirmed.
‘Believing in a luck stat of 10. Does that mean we have to rely on luck for the rest?’
It was a time when Jinhyeok’s worries were deepening.
Quaaaang!
There was a commotion outside the tent.
“What? This water idiot! I’m meeting with my contractor, why are you making such a fuss and stopping me?”
Ellis’ voice penetrated my eardrums.
“Oh, no! If I go in, the owner will turn me into a poop fairy…!”
Undine desperately tried to stop Elise, but she couldn’t stop it.
“Who on earth are you flirting with so I’m not letting you in… huh?”
Ellis, who had almost blown up the tent, looked at Jinhyuk and the three golden cards in turn.
and then.
“What? What about that strange card?”
He tilted his small head.
“I was intentionally trying not to let anyone in for fear of being surprised. Um, that’s kind of like compensation, but I guess it might look a little strange from the residents’ point of view?”
“No, that’s not it. I wonder why the card on the far right has an engraving that is only given to bosses.”
“what?”
Jinhyuk’s eyes widened.
Obviously, the cards look the same.
I didn’t feel any imprint or extraneous magic.
That’s right.
‘Are you saying it’s only visible to Ellis?’
